Preparation

Stir first 5 ingredients in large saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Add remaining ingredients; simmer until fruit is tender, about 15 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer fruit to bowl. Boil syrup in pan until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 7 minutes. Pour over fruit. Cool. Cover; chill until cold, about 3 hours. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Keep chilled.)

OK, but nothing special. Not enough spices, so try using more cinnamon and cloves. Somewhat too sweet, especially with all the heavy dried fruit, so be sure to reduce the sugar. Perhaps using all fresh fruit would be better. Then again, I didn't like the incongruous mix of fresh and dried fruit; it didn't seem to work. I didn't pair this with ice cream (substituted something else), but expect that the large and disparate chunks of fruit would be clumsy to pour and eat over ice cream with a spoon. A berries compote seems like it would be more appropriate.
